THE number one reason I got a platform bed with no underneath. When my Scarlett was a kitten, she did that to my bed and hid everything and anything in there. Went two weeks without my glasses because she hid them!

I made a long board out of 2 plywood boards secured together w/ a piece that looks like a hinge since 1 wasn't enough. Then I put that between the frame and the bed to help with support. That could also be a relatively inexpensive solution to that problem, too.

Ditto!! I just went through 45 minutes of desperate searching for a new kitten we recently added to our household, only to find her burrowed so deep into the box spring that she couldn't find her way out...

I remember getting my first room, all to myself when I was five years old, and not long after there was a hole, and later holes, for the kitties to hide in. I learned quickly as cute, cuddly and fluffy cats are, to close my bedroom at all times.

My male cat is notorious for doing this just about every night around 2AM. I've tried closing my bedroom door to him, but he still scratches at the carpet and door frame. I think a platform bed is the next step to go.

Another platform bed afficionado here, and the sofa is low and leather. Also, the entire house is fully outfitted with a plethora of cat furnishings, scratching pads, scratching posts, and toys, so the general-purpose furniture stays nice. :)

My cat almost died in there last weekend... got a string stuck around her neck, then freaked out, hid in the box spring, and the string got tangled up in there. Thank god we were home to rescue her. :(

A couple I know has a blowdrier under the bed. In the middle of the night, if the cats do what they're doing on the comic, they plug the blowdrier for one or two seconds and the cats are already as far as possible.

No!!! Ha ha ha!!! It really happened to me. Especially in winter time. My male cat play with himself, running here and there, all alone. Do your kitties do the same? Sometimes I think he has an invisible friend, or that he is under the devil powers, ha ha!

My first cat burrowed under the mattress as a kitten, and one day, when she was older, after a bath she went into the mattress again and strangled herself to death. I will never let another cat of mine burrow into furniture again.
